I assume this type of grenade caused quite a lot of causality to those who had to throw it, the fuze I believe was about 4 seconds. I was talking to a woman who said that a relative was killed during the war with a grenade during a training exercise, although I know a few instances of troops being injured or killed with the Mills grenade the sticky was more dangerous.

he was training with the no74 sticky he pulled the pin out on the range ready to throw it at a makeshift tank he lowered his arm to throw it unforchantely the sticky bomb stuck to his trousers, he had to keep hold of the safety handle that stops it from detonating and get his trousers off somehowhe did do it and survived the war

so after that I think the decided to get rid of them for the no82 "gammon" grenade as the new AT grenade
